network sets in Layer 3 IP policies. L2 PEPs can be used in Layer 2 Ethernet policies. You can sort the list of PEPs by type or name by clicking the column header (SG or Name).

When ETEMS communicates with a PEP, it verifies that its hardware and software configuration is valid. PEPs that ETEMS has not yet communicated with are marked with a ? symbol beside the IP or L2 designation. In the previous example, PEP 2, PEP 5, and ESG PEP 1 have not yet had any communications from ETEMS. Once you refresh the status or push configurations from ETEMS, the ? symbol disappears. The first time you attempt to use a PEP with the ? symbol, the following warning appears.

Adding a New PEP in ETEMS

It is recommended that you add all new PEPs in the ETEMS Appliance Manager because you can only push configurations to the PEPs in ETEMS. All appliances used as EncrypTight PEPs must have the configuration settings described in Table 39.

Table 39		EncrypTight PEP configuration
	Configuration		Description
	Network interfaces		On the Interfaces tab, configure the PEP’s management, local, and
			remote ports.
			If the PEP and the ETKMS are on different subnets, specify a
			default gateway for the management port that the PEP can use for
			communication with the ETKMS and the management workstation
			hosting ETPM.
